In company team building, the boss requires us to adopt AA system. Is this reasonable?

I think it is understandable for a department leader to call on employees to have a dinner together to connect everyone’s feelings. Even if we are on an AA basis, everyone can go if they want to, and if they don’t think of it, they can’t go. It doesn’t matter if it’s reasonable or not. Still unreasonable. However, if you plan to have an AA-style dinner party, you should make it clear to everyone in advance before calling that this party will require everyone to pay for the AA-style dinner, so that everyone can mentally prepare and make choices. Otherwise, after everyone has finished gathering, If I tell everyone after the meal and ask everyone to come to the AA system to bear their own expenses, then this matter seems a bit unreasonable and not so good.

Take me for example, even if I plan to treat everyone to dinner and connect with each other, I will discuss it with everyone in advance to see if everyone is available, and then set the exact time and date. Place. If I plan to have an AA dinner party, I always find another employee and ask him to call on everyone’s AA dinner party proposals in his own name to see how many people agree that they want to have a party, and then ask him to ask other employees if they need it. Let me join this party.

If you don’t want leaders to participate, then I won’t participate, and I can understand that. If everyone agrees to ask me whether to participate, then I will also pay double the AA fee to participate in this dinner party. That is to say, if everyone contributes 100 yuan each under the AA system, I will contribute 200 yuan. Then at the dinner party, I will completely abandon the leadership role and have fun with everyone as brothers. I will not talk about work if I can.

Anyway, every time I go out to dinner with everyone, whether it’s my treat or everyone’s AA, I basically don’t talk about work issues. In my opinion, employee dinners are meant to relax and vent. Everyone can enjoy themselves as much as they want. As for work issues, they are topics that should only be discussed at work and in meetings. Why should we talk about work after work? It is not public relations. To continue talking about work when employees are having a happy dinner is just nonsense and spoiling the fun.
